Abstract: L'invention concerne un compteur comprenant au moins une bague de comptage, un dispositif de commande et un moyen d'actionnement, mobile dans le sens de l'axe longitudinal. Le dispositif de commande comprend un élément de guidage (11) et un élément de commande (12) mobile axialement et azimutalement par rapport à l'élément de guidage, ce dernier étant fixe. Ledit élément de guidage comporte au moins une surface courbe (26) par l'intermédiaire de laquelle est guidé au moins un élément saillant (27) formé sur l'élément de commande. Un ergot de commande (28) formé sur l'élément de commande s'engrène dans les dents de la bague de comptage. Le dispositif de commande convertit le mouvement linéaire du moyen d'actionnement en une rotation de la bague de comptage. A chaque actionnement du moyen d'actionnement, la bague de comptage, qui est bloquée par des cliquets d'arrêt, tourne d'un incrément angulaire. Ce compteur entièrement fermé peut être utilisé avec divers réservoirs de stockage contenant un produit destiné à être distribué en doses individuelles. Il peut être utilisé par exemple comme compteur de doses quotidiennes ou comme compteur de doses totales. Les éléments du compteur sont assemblés et maintenus ensemble par l'intermédiaire d'éléments d'arrêt.

Title: Embryonic or stem-like cell lines produced by cross species nuclear transplantation and methods for enhancing embryonic development by genetic alteration of donor cells or by tissue culture conditions
Inventor: WEST MICHAEL
IPC: C12N5/02
Filed: 2002-12-27
Abstract: An improved method of nuclear transfer involving the transplantation of differentiated donor cell nuclei into enucleated oocytes of a species different from the donor cell is provided.

Title: Method of inducing an enhanced immune response against hiv
Inventor: CHASTAIN MICHAEL
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2003-03-12
Abstract: An efficient means of inducing an immune response against human immunodeficiency virus ("HIV") utilizing specific prime-boost regimes is disclosed. The specific prime-boost regimes employ a heterologous prime-boost protocol wherein recombinant adenoviral and poxvirus vectors comprising exogenous genetic material encoding a common HIV antigen are administered in that order. Vaccines administered into living vertebrate tissue in accordance with the disclosed regimes, preferably a mammalian host such as a human or a non-human mammal of commercial or domestic veterinary importance, express the HIV-1 antigen (e.g., Gag), inducing a cellular immune response which specifically recognizes HIV-1. It is believed that the disclosed prime/boost regime will offer a prophylactic advantage to previously uninfected individuals and/or provide a therapeutic effect by reducing viral load levels within an infected individual, thus prolonging the asymptomatic phase of HIV-1 infection.
